ASSEMBLY
EXPANDABLE UPRIGHT FRAME INSTRUCTIONS
• Note: For ease of assembly, two (2) Vertical Beams feature
pre-bolted horizontal and diagonal beams, as well as pre-
attached U-Bracket Covers.
STEP 1
• Place one (1) Vertical Beam and one (1) Pre-Bolted Vertical
Assembly on the floor, parallel to one another (about
18”/45.7 cm apart). The widest part of the teardrop-shaped
hole pattern on each beam should be facing upward (or
away from you).
STEP 2
• There are two versions of the U-Bracket Covers – an “A” side
and “B” side. Before moving forward, cover the U-shaped
brackets on the Vertical Beam with the covers by mirroring
the covers on the Pre-Bolted Vertical Assembly.
STEP 3
• Insert the free end of the diagonal beam into the free end
of the top horizontal beam. Align the holes, and insert both
beams into the U-shaped bracket at the top of the opposing
Vertical Beam. Use the included hex key or drill bit to thread
a Vertical Assembly Bolt through the holes and into the weld
nut attached to the U-shaped bracket. Do not fully tighten
the bolt yet.
STEP 4
• Swing out the bottom horizontal beam, and insert it into the
U-shaped bracket at the bottom of the opposing Vertical
Beam. Thread a Vertical Assembly Bolt through the holes
and into the weld nut. Do not fully tighten the bolt yet.
STEP 5
• Repeat Steps 1-4 to assemble the second upright frame.
Once both are assembled, you can fully tighten the bolts on
all four corners. Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts; there
should be no deformation of the U-shaped brackets and/or
horizontal beams.

WARNING!
• Serious or fatal crashing injuries can occur from furniture tipping
over. To prevent this, the rack must always be secured to a wall,
especially in earthquake-prone environments, where surfaces are
uneven, and where children and/or pets are present.
CROSSBEAM INSTRUCTIONS
• Note: It is recommended for one person to hold the upright
frames in place while a second person installs the crossbeams.
STEP 1
• There is a set of locking tabs at both ends of every
crossbeam. To begin assembly, take one crossbeam and
insert the tabs into two of the holes on the lower portion of
one upright frame. Engage the locking tabs into the holes
using a downward motion. The locking pin hole should be at
the top. Make sure the end of the crossbeam is flush against
the upright frame.
STEP 2
• Repeat for the opposite side of the upright frame. Tap
the ends of the crossbeam closest to the upright frames
with a rubber mallet until fully seated. The crossbeam and
locking tabs should easily slip into place. If they do not, then
recheck the alignment of the teardrop-shaped holes and
tabs. Too much force may damage the interlock between the
crossbeam and upright frame.
STEP 3
• Using the methods listed above, install another crossbeam
to the opposite side of the upright frames, parallel to the first
crossbeam you installed. Make sure both crossbeams are at
the same level.
STEP 4
• Continue by installing the middle and top sets of crossbeams
to the upright frames. Make sure the crossbeams are attached
at the same level on both sides. If you plan to stack another
DXST4500 Industrial Rack on top, then DO NOT attach the
third set of crossbeams to the very top of the upright frames.
See Page 12 for Complete Stacking Instructions.

ASSEMBLY
• Note: There are two (2) Safety Straps with Weld Nuts and
three (3) Shelf Support Straps for every set of crossbeams.
STEP 1
• Starting with the lowest set of crossbeams, place a Safety
Strap with Weld Nut between the lower ridges of the
crossbeams where two sets of holes have been pre-drilled.
Thread a Safety Strap Bolt up through the bottom of the pre-
drilled holes and through the weld nuts, and fully tighten with
the included hex key or drill bit. Repeat for the second strap on
this set of crossbeams, and continue for the last four straps.
STEP 2
• Place a Shelf Support Strap perpendicular to the
crossbeams, and insert each end into the slots on each ridge
of the crossbeam. Repeat for the remaining eight straps.

WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Note: Drywall anchors and anchor screws are included with
this rack; however, different wall materials require different
types of fasteners. Use fasteners suitable for your specific
type of wall. If you are uncertain about what type of fasteners
to use, then please contact your local hardware store.
STEP 1
• Take the U-shaped bracket and rock it up at an angle to
attach it to the bottom inner channel of the crossbeam.
Once attached, the back portion will sit flush against the
side of the crossbeam.
STEP 2
• Once attached, the U-shaped bracket can be moved from
side to side (in between the two safety straps). This allows
for it to be attached to a 2 x 4 in the wall.
STEP 3
• The L-shaped bracket has two sets of square holes that
allow you to adjust the distance of the rack to the wall.
Use two carriage bolts and two 10 mm nuts to attach the
L-shaped bracket to the bottom of the U-shaped bracket.
STEP 4
• Position the rack so the flat end of the L-shaped bracket is
touching the wall. Use a pencil to mark the location of the
four holes on the wall. Use the included drywall anchors,
anchor screws, and the appropriate tools if you’re securing
the rack to drywall only. Be sure to follow standard
instructions for installing anchor screws.

WARNING!
• Serious injury or death can occur from the rack tipping over. To prevent this, the
rack must be secured to a wall, especially in earthquake -prone areas, or where
surfaces are uneven, and where children and/or pets are present.
• Different wall materials require different types of fasteners. Use fasteners suitable
for your specific type of wall. If you are uncertain about what type of fastener to
use, then please contact your local hardware store.

WIRE GRID AND LOCKING SHELF PIN INSTRUCTIONS
• Note: Each wire grid consists of two sides – a “short” side
and “long” side. If you plan on sliding objects on and off
of the shelf from the front of the rack, then we recommend
having the “short” side of the grid facing upward. If you
plan on sliding objects from the side of the rack, then we
recommend having the “long” side facing upward.
STEP 1
• Place the wire grids onto the top ridge of all sets of
crossbeams. If seated properly, the grids will “pop” into
place and lay evenly.
STEP 2
• Place a Locking Grid Clip at the outermost corner of the
shelf. Make sure the rolled edge with the groove is facing
upwards.
STEP 3
• With one hand, apply pressure to the back of the clip. With
your free hand, insert a flat-head screwdriver (not included)
into the small slot in the clip to spread the tine up and over
the wire that is underneath.
STEP 4
• Pull back on the screwdriver. The grooved channel in the
clip should now match up with the wire decking, which will
help secure it to the shelf beam.
STEP 5
• Repeat Steps 2-4 the remaining three corners of the wire
grid, and then again for all the remaining shelves.
STEP 6
• There is a locking pin hole at both ends of every crossbeam.
This is where the Locking Shelf Pins are to be installed. If a
pin does not easily slip into place, then moderately tap the
end of the crossbeam to fully seat the locking tabs.

STACKING INSTRUCTIONS
• Note: Every DXST4500-W Industrial Rack comes with two
(2) stacking plates. In order to safely stack two of these
racks together, you MUST use four (4) of these plates.
It is recommended that one person holds the upright frames
in place while a second person installs the stacking plates.
STEP 1
• Assemble the second set of upright frames by following the
instructions on Page 8.
STEP 2
• Using a screwdriver and rubber mallet, remove all four
black caps from the bottom of the newly assembled
upright frames. This will now become the top rack. Remove
all four black caps from the top of the fully assembled rack.
This will now become the bottom rack.
STEP 3
• Line up and place an upright frame on top of one side of
the fully assembled rack. Be sure the hole patterns are
going in the same direction. The stacking brackets feature
a top and bottom set of locking tabs. Engage the top set
of tabs into the very bottom of the vertical beam and the
bottom set of locking tabs into the very top of the upright
frame. Use the same downward motion to attach these
brackets as you did for the crossbeams. The locking pin
holes on the bracket should be at the bottom. Repeat for
the remaining three stacking brackets.
STEP 4
• Insert the locking shelf pins into the open pin holes on
the brackets.
Assemble the remaining pieces of the top rack by following
the instructions detailed on Pages 8-12.

WARNING!
• Serious injury or death can occur from furniture tipping over.
To prevent this, the rack must be secured to a wall, especially
in earthquake-prone areas or where surfaces are uneven, and
